Edward walked slowly past the school blacktop where his older brother, Leon, was playing basketball with his friends. Leon didn't notice Edward until he turned to shoot the ball. Leon really loved basketball and was good at it. But Edward was another story.
Edward would beg to play with them but Leon's friends complained a lot. For some reason, in that last game, Edward's playing was worse than ever. He couldn't do anything right. He was completely unable to keep possession of the ball. He missed even the easy rebounds. His dribbling （控球）was useless， and none of his throws were anywhere near the basket. Leon had to turn his brother away.
Edward was always a genius at maths. He was so advanced that he already knew how to solve long division problems before he was taught in school. Word problems, even the complicated ones with several steps, were no problem.
One day, Leon's maths teacher pulled him aside. “You need to do better, a lot better, or you're not going to pass this class. There's a big test coming up.”
Leon's heart sank. When he got home, he talked with Edward about it. The boys agreed that over the next two weeks they intended to spend an hour each day after school working on maths problems and then an hour playing basketball.
"Here is a good one," Edward said and pointed to a word problem. “Why don't you read it "
Leon looked at the book for several seconds. “I'm dizzy already!” he exclaimed.
“Do you know what the first step is " asked Edward. "The first step is to stay cool and focused," Edward talked Leon through the problem. “Think about what you need to find out. Don't let the problem trick you.” Step by step, together they figured it out and got the right answer. Leon soon discovered that Edward was really good at helping him.

Those rules work in basketball, too, Leon said:“Let's start from the basics." With Leon's patient instructions, Edward stated to practice dribbling. At first, Edward would get frustrated because he couldn't remember all the steps.But after attentive practice, his performance changed for the better. The next two weeks saw the two brothers inspiring each other and making progress steadily. Edward learned how to shoot, pass and rebound; Leon was able to solve more and more complicated word problems.
The morning of he maths test came all too soon for Leon.“Stay cool and focused!” With Edward‘s encouraging words echoing in his mind, Leon calmed down and buried himself in the questions. Eventually, he finished the paper with flying colors. The bell ringing, Leon handed in the paper, darted out of the classroom and went to Edward. He invited Edward to play basketball with him after school. At the court, Leon's friends were amazed by how much Edward had improved. They had so much fun! “That was pretty good for a maths genius," said Leon as he and Edward headed home. “Just like your maths grade! It was a pretty good grade for a basketball all-star."

Maybe there is a Father Christmas!
Anna stood anxiously staring at the pouring rain while little Molly looked up at a pretty doll in the window of the toy shop on the edge of town. “Mummy," Molly said, “that's the doll I would like Father Christmas to bring me." A tear rolled down Anna's cheek and she knew it would be impossible this year. They were supposed to start a new life in Spain one and a half years ago before her husband Tim was cruelly taken from them by a car. Their small amount of savings were quickly spent on Tim's funeral costs and necessities, leaving her in heavy debt.
To her relief, the local people had helped to support her through these difficult times and especially Juan, owner of the local grocery store, a single man, who would often put something special into her shopping bag, even though he himself had been going through a difficult period-his mother died of cancer and he was busy handling the sale of his mother's house on the edge of town.
As the rain stopped, Anna and Molly started walking home.She was thinking about buying an umbrella after paying the rent with her upcoming wage when Molly shouted excitedly, "Mummy, what's that on the road " Anna looked down and saw a bag lying in the water, which was obviously lost because of the sudden rain.
They got home and dried themselves before Anna focused on the bag. Opening it and seeing bundles of money inside, she stood back in shock and cried, “Is this a present from kindness I can pay off my debt, buy Molly's favorite doll and my new umbrella ...” Then reality set in, Anna was a very moral person and would never steal even the slightest little thing, let alone bundles of money. She went to bed with all thoughts in her mind.

My Own Beat
My pulse quickened as my feet took me closer and closer to the door. In my head, I could hear the words my kids kept telling me, “Do it, Mom. You never do anything for yourself. Just follow your dream." I felt my lungs filled with air and released it.
“What are you doing here You're a single mom of five. You're fifty years old!" My thoughts were fighting with my kids' words. Even so, it was as if I had no control over my feet. As if they were being urged along from somewhere deep inside me.
Finally I gathered my courage, stepped into the hall and signed up for drum classes, which was my childhood dream.
Wednesday came, and along with it my first drum lesson. I walked through the door and headed directly to the seating area in the back. My hands kept fidgeting（动来动去）with the sticks.I kept nervously looking at the time.I tried to slow down my breath. I knew the teacher would say I was not the right type of person to play the drums. I turned around to see an older man looking at me.
“Stephanie I'm Mike, the drum teacher," he said.
People make me nervous. That's the way I've always been. But Mike had a very calm manner about him,so I relaxed just slightly. Not only did he not tell me that I was the wrong type of person to play the drums,but he complimented me on how well I held the sticks and followed along with him.
“You are fine.I see so much potential in you," he told me.
Soon my thirty-minute lesson is over. Walking back to my car, I felt full of excitement and energy.I thought of how many times I had driven my kids to their competitions and watched proudly as they bravely went in front of judges and audiences.
Now it felt scary and amazing at the same time to follow my dream and do something that was purely for my enjoyment, something just for me. Maybe one day I would have the chance to stand on the stage.

When I looked down at the carpet, it was covered with pieces of sparkling red, pink and clear glass. Missi said. "Oh, no, not the vase.''
"Why What did I do " My face reddened.
"Abby, that glass vase was one of the few items my relatives brought when they came to America, Missi replied nervously. "If you’d broken anything else in the apartment, I would've gladly said I did it. But you're going to have to tell my mom that it was your fault, and she's going to be really mad. ”
I was terrified. I’d destroyed a priceless family heirloom （传家宝）.Why did I have to spin around like that
We gathered up the shattered pieces. I kept saying that maybe it could be fixed, but Missi said gently it didn't look possible. I insisted we keep the pieces. The glass was so fragile, like a colorful, swirly light bulb had exploded. Some of it broke even more as we tried to sweep it up carefully.
Missi said her mom would be home by six. My stomach was in knots. Would her mom yell at me or punish me Would she tell me I couldn't stay in their apartment for the weekend I couldn't stop playing the” fifteen seconds over in my mind, me spinning fast and the sound of glass crashing. The only thing I could think of to say was “I'm sorry. ”

My teenage son, Jordan, always complained about having to be home earlier than all his friends. He would tell me that he was already seventeen， but still had a curfew（宵禁），He believed he was practically an adult. I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school.
“You don't trust me!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe
I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air would clear my head. I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her: a small black cat, just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball," I said, bringing her into my arms. I walked back in, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house, but after an hour or two, she sat by the door, meowing to go back outside.
“Why won't she just stay in with us all the time ” Nathan, my youngest son asked.
I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased.
“That must be nice,” Jordan muttered from the other room, complaining why the cat, not him, could come and go. He even asked me to give Meatball a curfew.
Meatball became a regular.
One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, meowing to go outside.
I shook my head at her, afraid that she might freeze to death. She stared at me and meowed again. I patted her head, “I know you're not happy, but it's for your own good.”
“Mom's not being mean to you,” Nathan told the cat. “She's just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball.” We both laughed at his joke.
The next morning, I couldn't find Meatball. I asked the kids if anyone had seen her.

I felt a lump in my throat. He rubbed Meatball’s back, “Looks like we are both going to observe the curfew. It’s for our own good.” (75 words)

Up in Lights
For some,putting up Christmas lights is a holiday chore. But for the Pascucci family, it was always a big day of celebration.
Every year on the day after Thanksgiving,Sara's father,Anthony Pascucci,60,woke up excited to string lights and decorate the lawn of his home and didn't take them down until February, being the only house with Christmas decorations in the community. Anthony Pascucci believed the brightness of the lights could counter（抵消）some of the darkness of the past year with COVID-19.
In 2020,as in every other year,Anthony Pascucci strung colorful lights all around their roof until it looked as if sparkles were dripping onto the hallway.Sara's brother,Anthony Jr.helped with the wiring,while Sara hung ornaments （装饰物）on the tree inside the house playing the song“White Christmas＂ over and over to keep everyone in thespirit. The whole place looked like a scene from a pop-up Christmas storybook.
On Christmas Eve,the whole house twinkled with lights and gifts were piled under the tree.Everyone was looking forward to overly stuffed clams-a typical Italian feast.But most of all,they looked forward to enjoying another Christmas together as a family.
However,Sara received a call from her colleague who had tested positive for COVID-19. Though Sara didn't have any symptoms she decided to get tested right away, as well as the whole family. When their results came back they all learned that they also had COVID-19. Several weeks later on early February,Anthony Pascucci passed away after getting lung infections.
In addition to helping to plan the funeral for her father, Sara had to tackle a seemingly endless list of difficult to-dos. It was almost too much to bear.

Paragraph 2:
In the following days,more and more Christmas lights were reappearing on neighbors' houses.
But when she returned to the house after the funeral, the twinkling Christmas lights brought her a spark of joy. It was the sweaty labor for Christmas decorations; it was the familiar smell of tasty food; it was the remaining connection with her beloved one. Immersed in a mixture of grief and determination, Sara wiped the tears streaming down cheeks, climbed up the ladder and tightened the loose strings of lights, replacing worn-out lights and cleaning dusty ones. Past as the Christmas Day had been,Sara continued her family tradition just as her father did. When some neighbors passed by, they stopped to chat with Sara as a comfort and some even initially joined her.
In the following days,more and more Christmas lights were reappearing on neighbors' houses. Never had Sara expected such an amazing scene.Standing in front of the house, Sara greeted neighbors with exceeding gratitude and inquired about the lights. The mystery had a sweet explanation that the neighbors had got together and decided collectively to hang their lights back in honor of Anthony Pascucci. Sara waved with quivering hands and cried “Thank you” to those kindhearted people, tears gradually blurring her eyes. Undoubtedly, the kindness neighbors brought warmed Sara in this bitter cold winter and the support from neighbors was an important reminder that the brightness of lights could counter the darkness of sufferings life threw at us.

Growing up, I was always around my grandma Meredith. She was the one who originally inspired my love for cooking and my dream of becoming a chef. Yet, one day I received a text that would turn my whole life around:"Grandma is seriously ill", the text read."We need your help in assisting with her care."
Without a second of hesitation, I agreed to travel back home. Thankfully, my boss at the restaurant let me take unpaid leave for the next several months so I could come home to help outwith grandma. After driving across several states, I finally got back to our family home in West Virginia. Yet, what I saw was really hard for me to bear. The Meredith I saw then was not the lively,joyful Meredith I had seen while I was growing up.
"Tony!" she called to me from her bed,"It's so good to see you!"
"Grandma,"I sighed,"I'm not Tony. That's dad, your son. I'm Hank."
This was the start of a months-long journey of helping out around the house—cooking, cleaning, and, most of all, keeping grandma in good health and good spirits.
Every day, I cooked delicious food to keep everyone's spirits high. But, secretly, I hoped that cooking some dishes that we had made together in my.childhood would somehow help get grandma's memory of me back, if just for a moment.
Stews(炖菜), chops(排骨), roasts—I served all of these to grandma and my parents around the clock. When I wasn't taking grandma out for a walk in her wheelchair or changing her bed sheets, I was cooking. I had cooked for celebrities while at the restaurant in New York City, but never had I poured my heart out into my meals than I did then for grandma. However, it didn't work at all.

After taking a few bites, grandma finally called out my name—my actual name.
Then I decided to make something simple. I grabbed a carton of eggs from the fridge and went to work. I scrambled them up with some herbs and spices, just like grandma and I used to do. I placed the plate in front of her and waited anxiously for her reaction. Slowly, she took a forkful of eggs and brought them to her mouth. I held my breath as she chewed. And then, a miracle happened. A smile spread across her face, and she said, "These are just like the ones we used to make together!" It was a small moment, but it meant everything to me. I felt like I had brought a piece of grandma back to life.
After taking a few bites, grandma finally called out my name—my actual name. "Hank," she said, "I'm so glad you're here." Tears filled my eyes as I hugged her tightly. In that moment, I realized that it wasn't about the complexity of the dish or the fanciness of the ingredients. It was about the love and memories that went into the food. And that simple plate of scrambled eggs had brought back a flood of memories for both of us. From that day on, I continued to cook simple meals that reminded us of our time together in the kitchen. And every time grandma smiled and called me by my name, I knew that I was doing something right.

Tucker's brand-new sled rested in the corner of his room. It was perfect: bright blue with red and orange flames racing up its sides. He was sure it would be super fast. If only it would snow.
He went to play with his brother, but Paul was in his usual spot-seated in the beanbag chair. controller in hands, working his way through a video game.
Tucker went down to the basement and found his father surrounded by piles of flattened cardboard boxes. "Can you play knights with me, Dad " Tucker asked.
His father looked over the wall of boxes. "I promised your mom I'd get all these boxes broken down and ready for recycling. In a little while, pal.
Tucker fished a small, yellow toy car from his pants pocket and settled down to watch.
When he pulled aside a box to make a ramp(斜坡)， he got an idea.
"Dad, can I have some boxes " Tucker asked.
"Sure, if you clean up when you're done, "answered Dad.
"And some tape, too " Tucker continued.

"Ready, go!" Paul called out as he pushed Tucker down the hillside.

He jumped to his feet and raced back up the hillside with his sled. "Your turn!" He gave the sled to Paul and Paul grabbed the sled and sped off down the hillside, laughing and yelling. As the daylight finally faded away, it began to snow. "What a timely snow!" Tucker smiled.

My Own Beat
My pulse quickened as my feet took me closer and closer to the door. In my head, I could hear the words my kids kept telling me, “Do it, Mom. You never do anything for yourself. Just follow your dream." I felt my lungs filled with air and released it.
“What are you doing here You're a single mom of five. You're fifty years old!" My thoughts were fighting with my kids' words. Even so, it was as if I had no control over my feet. As if they were being urged along from somewhere deep inside me.
Finally I gathered my courage, stepped into the hall and signed up for drum classes, which was my childhood dream.
Wednesday came, and along with it my first drum lesson. I walked through the door and headed directly to the seating area in the back. My hands kept fidgeting（动来动去）with the sticks.I kept nervously looking at the time.I tried to slow down my breath. I knew the teacher would say I was not the right type of person to play the drums. I turned around to see an older man looking at me.
“Stephanie I'm Mike, the drum teacher," he said.
People make me nervous. That's the way I've always been. But Mike had a very calm manner about him,so I relaxed just slightly. Not only did he not tell me that I was the wrong type of person to play the drums,but he complimented me on how well I held the sticks and followed along with him.
“You are fine.I see so much potential in you," he told me.
Soon my thirty-minute lesson is over. Walking back to my car, I felt full of excitement and energy.I thought of how many times I had driven my kids to their competitions and watched proudly as they bravely went in front of judges and audiences.
Now it felt scary and amazing at the same time to follow my dream and do something that was purely for my enjoyment, something just for me. Maybe one day I would have the chance to stand on the stage.

"Why What did I do " My face reddened.
"Abby, that glass vase was one of the few items my relatives brought when they came to America, Missi replied nervously. "If you’d broken anything else in the apartment, I would've gladly said I did it. But you're going to have to tell my mom that it was your fault, and she's going to be really mad. ”

My teenage son, Jordan, always complained about having to be home earlier than all his friends. He would tell me that he was already seventeen， but still had a curfew（宵禁），He believed he was practically an adult. I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school.
“You don't trust me!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe
I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air would clear my head. I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her: a small black cat, just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball," I said, bringing her into my arms. I walked back in, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house, but after an hour or two, she sat by the door, meowing to go back outside.
“Why won't she just stay in with us all the time ” Nathan, my youngest son asked.
I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased.
“That must be nice,” Jordan muttered from the other room, complaining why the cat, not him, could come and go. He even asked me to give Meatball a curfew.
Meatball became a regular.
One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, meowing to go outside.
I shook my head at her, afraid that she might freeze to death. She stared at me and meowed again. I patted her head, “I know you're not happy, but it's for your own good.”
“Mom's not being mean to you,” Nathan told the cat. “She's just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball.” We both laughed at his joke.
The next morning, I couldn't find Meatball. I asked the kids if anyone had seen her.

For some,putting up Christmas lights is a holiday chore. But for the Pascucci family, it was always a big day of celebration.
Every year on the day after Thanksgiving,Sara's father,Anthony Pascucci,60,woke up excited to string lights and decorate the lawn of his home and didn't take them down until February, being the only house with Christmas decorations in the community. Anthony Pascucci believed the brightness of the lights could counter（抵消）some of the darkness of the past year with COVID-19.
In 2020,as in every other year,Anthony Pascucci strung colorful lights all around their roof until it looked as if sparkles were dripping onto the hallway.Sara's brother,Anthony Jr.helped with the wiring,while Sara hung ornaments （装饰物）on the tree inside the house playing the song“White Christmas＂ over and over to keep everyone in thespirit. The whole place looked like a scene from a pop-up Christmas storybook.
On Christmas Eve,the whole house twinkled with lights and gifts were piled under the tree.Everyone was looking forward to overly stuffed clams-a typical Italian feast.But most of all,they looked forward to enjoying another Christmas together as a family.
However,Sara received a call from her colleague who had tested positive for COVID-19. Though Sara didn't have any symptoms she decided to get tested right away, as well as the whole family. When their results came back they all learned that they also had COVID-19. Several weeks later on early February,Anthony Pascucci passed away after getting lung infections.
In addition to helping to plan the funeral for her father, Sara had to tackle a seemingly endless list of difficult to-dos. It was almost too much to bear.

Paragraph 2:
In the following days,more and more Christmas lights were reappearing on neighbors' houses.
But when she returned to the house after the funeral, the twinkling Christmas lights brought her a spark of joy. It was the sweaty labor for Christmas decorations; it was the familiar smell of tasty food; it was the remaining connection with her beloved one. Immersed in a mixture of grief and determination, Sara wiped the tears streaming down cheeks, climbed up the ladder and tightened the loose strings of lights, replacing worn-out lights and cleaning dusty ones. Past as the Christmas Day had been,Sara continued her family tradition just as her father did. When some neighbors passed by, they stopped to chat with Sara as a comfort and some even initially joined her.
In the following days,more and more Christmas lights were reappearing on neighbors' houses. Never had Sara expected such an amazing scene.Standing in front of the house, Sara greeted neighbors with exceeding gratitude and inquired about the lights. The mystery had a sweet explanation that the neighbors had got together and decided collectively to hang their lights back in honor of Anthony Pascucci. Sara waved with quivering hands and cried “Thank you” to those kindhearted people, tears gradually blurring her eyes. Undoubtedly, the kindness neighbors brought warmed Sara in this bitter cold winter and the support from neighbors was an important reminder that the brightness of lights could counter the darkness of sufferings life threw at us.

Growing up, I was always around my grandma Meredith. She was the one who originally inspired my love for cooking and my dream of becoming a chef. Yet, one day I received a text that would turn my whole life around:"Grandma is seriously ill", the text read."We need your help in assisting with her care."
Without a second of hesitation, I agreed to travel back home. Thankfully, my boss at the restaurant let me take unpaid leave for the next several months so I could come home to help outwith grandma. After driving across several states, I finally got back to our family home in West Virginia. Yet, what I saw was really hard for me to bear. The Meredith I saw then was not the lively,joyful Meredith I had seen while I was growing up.
"Tony!" she called to me from her bed,"It's so good to see you!"
"Grandma,"I sighed,"I'm not Tony. That's dad, your son. I'm Hank."
This was the start of a months-long journey of helping out around the house—cooking, cleaning, and, most of all, keeping grandma in good health and good spirits.
Every day, I cooked delicious food to keep everyone's spirits high. But, secretly, I hoped that cooking some dishes that we had made together in my.childhood would somehow help get grandma's memory of me back, if just for a moment.
Stews(炖菜), chops(排骨), roasts—I served all of these to grandma and my parents around the clock. When I wasn't taking grandma out for a walk in her wheelchair or changing her bed sheets, I was cooking. I had cooked for celebrities while at the restaurant in New York City, but never had I poured my heart out into my meals than I did then for grandma. However, it didn't work at all.

After taking a few bites, grandma finally called out my name—my actual name.
Then I decided to make something simple. I grabbed a carton of eggs from the fridge and went to work. I scrambled them up with some herbs and spices, just like grandma and I used to do. I placed the plate in front of her and waited anxiously for her reaction. Slowly, she took a forkful of eggs and brought them to her mouth. I held my breath as she chewed. And then, a miracle happened. A smile spread across her face, and she said, "These are just like the ones we used to make together!" It was a small moment, but it meant everything to me. I felt like I had brought a piece of grandma back to life.
After taking a few bites, grandma finally called out my name—my actual name. "Hank," she said, "I'm so glad you're here." Tears filled my eyes as I hugged her tightly. In that moment, I realized that it wasn't about the complexity of the dish or the fanciness of the ingredients. It was about the love and memories that went into the food. And that simple plate of scrambled eggs had brought back a flood of memories for both of us. From that day on, I continued to cook simple meals that reminded us of our time together in the kitchen. And every time grandma smiled and called me by my name, I knew that I was doing something right.

Tucker's brand-new sled rested in the corner of his room. It was perfect: bright blue with red and orange flames racing up its sides. He was sure it would be super fast. If only it would snow.
